Where does ssb protein bind on lagging strand or on leading strand?
ssb protein bind to the lagging strand as leading strand is invovled in dna replication and lagging strand is invovled in okazaki fragment formation
Which strand (leading or lagging) will have the okazaki fragments?
The lagging strand will have the Okazaki fragments. These short fragments are created as the DNA replication machinery synthesizes the new DNA strand discontinuously in the 5'-3' direction away from the replication fork.
There is a y shaped replication fork on each side of each replication bubble what are the sides of the replication fork called?
One is known as the Leading strand, and the other is known as the Lagging strand.
Which strand in dna synthesis is created in pieces?
The lagging strand
What is the definition of a lagging strand?
A lagging strand is one of two strands of DNA found at the replication fork, or junction, in the double helix; the other strand is called the leading strand. A lagging strand requires a slight delay before undergoing replication, and it must undergo replication discontinuously in small fragments.
What is the name of the strand that replicates in a direction toward the replication fork?
Lagging strand.
Is The lagging strand the strands of parental DNA?
The lagging strand is the strand of newly synthesized DNA that is formed discontinuously during DNA replication. It is not the same as the parental DNA strands from which it is being copied. The parental DNA strands serve as templates for the synthesis of the new leading and lagging strands.
What are the small segments synthesized in the lagging strand of DNA?
Okazaki fragments are the small DNA fragments synthesized on the lagging strand during DNA replication. They are later joined together by DNA ligase to form a continuous strand.
Are the leading strand and lagging strand of DNA replication copied in the same direction?
No, both will be synthesized in opposite directions
Why does Dna have both leading and lagging Strands?
DNA replication is bidirectional, meaning it occurs in opposite directions along the template DNA strand. The leading strand is synthesized continuously in the 5' to 3' direction, while the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in short fragments called Okazaki fragments. This ensures that both strands are replicated efficiently and accurately.
What fragments are sections of DNA made on the lagging strand?
okazaki fregments
What is okazaki?
okazaki fragments are new pieces of Dna On the lagging strand
